Thread question:
>What would be your dream vehicle for the line?
>>
>>11241703
Damn, that's a tough one, since 30/40k has a lot of good ones. Maybe a Rhino for starters since it's the most iconic? If that happens we'll see how it goes from there.
>>
>>11241703
>What would be your dream vehicle for the line?
Realistically speaking, a A leman russ would be cool, but unrealistically I want a warlord titan.
>>
>>11241743
>warlord titan
Titans wouldn't have to be that big, about primarch figure size would be good.
>>
>TQ
Realistically a Leman Russ tank with a Cadian crew would be nice, but I would love it if the crew was instead from the Armageddon Steel Legion.
Would love a Predator or Land Raider
>>
>>11241794
Predator seems likely one day with how space marine heavy the line is, i would love a leman russ but we dont even have normal cadian troops yet.

I'd probably like an impulsor over the iconic rhino, because an open back is MUCH easier to play with than a box (assuming only the doors and stuff opened, and not an opening/removable top gimmick. I also like floating vehicles over treads, because you can VWOOOOSH!! more reasonably).
>>
>>11241964
What do you even buy if you think that's impressive? It's not even a large figure, considering it's only big when compared to 1:18 lines and not 1:12 or 1:10 lines, which is what most of what /toy/ buys.
>>
>>11241862
Yeah, I'm guessing the Cadians sold poorly, since we never got regular troops, same with the Kriegsmen
As for the predator yeah its likely, too bad its gonna come in ultramarine colors, but I guess I could just repaint it

>1:12 or 1:10 lines, which is what most of what /toy/ buys.

Fuck Off already, no one cares about your man baby scale.

>>11242936
NTA but you can't deny he's impressive to look at. The sheer amount of sculpted and painted detail is definitely something to behold, and the design itself is cool as hell. Plus, even at 1/18 scale he's a big boy.
>>
>>11243148
Too bad it's not in an actual scale such as 1/12 which holds actual detailed sculpts.

I generally prefer 1/12 but a 1/12 Horus would be fucking colossal.

>painted detail
>impressive
Wow, it's so impressive that $150 figure has a paint job that blends in with the wooden table it's standing on, instead of looking like a glorious demi-god who could be using an entire world's resources just for his suit.

... not even in bizzaro world would it be considered "impressive."

It's >ridiculous< that a $150 figure has a shitty paint job.

As for sculpted detail, it's actually pretty plain for an armored figure. Granted, WH40k has cartoony designs, but you're overblowing the detail that actually exists on the figure.
>even at 1/18 scale he's a big boy
He's about as big as Mattel's Lightyear robots. It's seriously not that big and i have bigger 1:18 mechs than that.

>>11243278
It's always been popular, it's just only now finally getting into the action figure market (and blowing up with the success of space marine 2). That's like saying Starbucks isn't popular because there is no action figure line.

>>11243176
Audible sigh, we went a whole thread without his retarded ass... Yeah, everyone remember, no (you)s, he does actually care about that shit. Only engage with people that actually buy toys, or actually has Warhammer stuff. Subby has been proven to do neither, so any engagement is a complete waste.

prove it. Oh wait, you can't, because you need to COPE that someone who owns the same toys isn't satisified with their inferior quality.

Fact is, i've been taking photos in the same settings/furniture/figures, uniquely for the topic/thread, for well over a decade, just to establish my own photos... but mostly because my benches are perfect for photographing shit, so of course they're going to show up in many of my photos.

Ignore subfaggot. He keeps complaining about the same fucking thing over and over again. I agree with you with Joytoy, they're killing it and with the Primarchs especially. There isn't any day that goes by where I just look and pick up my own Horus and be amazed that it's a toy that actually exists, a mass produced figure that I didn't have to get 3D printed or customized or anything. The fact that the entire line is also 1:18 scale is pretty brilliant because it makes the primarchs chunky enough to be pleasant to pose and interact with, but not so large that they require a huge shelf to display altogether.

>>11243387 here, I also think at 150 CAD Joytoy offers the best in terms of detail. The only way you can get more detailed is to go with something like Metal Build Gundam, and those cost a whole lot more and not even bigger than the primarchs.

Pic related.
>>
>>11243387
>complaining about the same thing over and over
Because Joytoy keeps fucking up, over and over, figure after figure, year after year.

>b-b-but they finally fixed the scale!
Hence me praising them for that, but what about the brittle plastics and shitty paint jobs?
... but at the same time, they fucked up the scaling on the normal humans. Or rather, they fucked with the proportions. Their first humans were all realistically humans. Their next humans were all given cartoony proportions.
Big heads. Popeye arms. Giant feet. Why? They fix one problem and create a new one, because they're ineptly run.

>Joytoy is brilliant not only for using a common scale but because they made 7" figures that'll fit on your shelves

Reminder that Subjectanon is a massive secondary who panic-bought a bunch of books to try and beat the allegations. He has failed to post a single model in any of these threads and is only here to troll and derail the topic, because he legitimately cannot stand positive discussion of a toyline he doesn't like. Also the only reason he doesn't like JoyToy is because they're showing up McFarlane.
>>
>>11243396
McFarlane is affordable at the very least, which is probably why subanon likes them so much (and continues to sourgrape about Joytoy). Well, there's no shame in that I think. He can just keep stealing people's collection shots from Reddit.
>>
>>11242936
>Compared to 1:12
Lol Horus is bigger than the vast majority of my 1:12 stuff and way more detailed to boot(and that includes Japanese imports). The only area he lags behind in is articulation and that's due to them not compromising the sculpt. It's as good as it can be considering the design.

I can't but notice you didn't include a pic of something you'd consider impressive either.

>>11243387
I agree, 1/18 is a great scale for Primarchs to be played with as actual toys instead of barely posable statues, and this is coming from a 1/6fag.

I just very recently got into this line. Picked up a Lion El'Jonson as a Christmas gift for my dad (Dark Angels have always been his favourite legion/chapter), plus another for myself, and I've got Sanguinius on PO. Looking to pick up Leman Russ soon as well.
Heard the QC was meh to middling for their rank and file figures, but generally solid for their higher end stuff. Really looking forward to getting some of these guys in hand.
>>
>>11243396
Nah, your giving him too much credit; he STOLE the pic of those books, as I remember when he first posted them, he promised to post more after he got laughed at for having so little, but of course he never followed up with more, because "moving goal posts" (even though HE started the "no true scottsman". Hes trying to gaslight the reasonable expectation of a timestamp in order to validate his "proof", when we can see that he's lying.
But your overall point still holds; starve the troll of (you)s! Notice how he's clinging to the one anon to try and get some! Pathetic, but that's how mental illness works, I guess.

>>11243426
Arguably, no. Price hike puts them at $30 a pop, meanwhile you can get basic intercessors for like $20-25 everywhere, and they have WAAAY more than what McFarlane offers. Whatever joytoy offers for higher, IS worth the asking price.

Didn't you read his posts though? He says only 1/12 scale figures can have the necessary detail to be impressive. And sure, McFarlane WH40K is 1/12 scale (arguably 1/10) but their soft and mushy sculpts, along with mediocre articulation, can be impressive. If you're dumb as fuck that is.

I'll be honest, even though I hate the Primaris vehicles I see your point there. But then I feel the Primaris stuff actually works better as action figures than as miniatures. I'd still love a Rhino though; assuming the top hatch opened it'd still be quite playable.
I won't lie I kinda wanna have a stab at scratchbuilding a 1/18 Rhino from styrene sheet, with some resin printed bits for the detail parts and the runnning gear/tracks (I have some super-tough resin before you ask).

?? Just the guns, or did you mean to say that you have one CSM figure with a bolter, and one BA figure with a bolter? And that the new figures are just wolves?
You can ignore all of the wolves and buy the BA figures that are available, both in primaris 40k, as well as Horus Heresy Marines (just no beakies/standard units yet, only specialty ones like grenade and big ass jet pack ones). Between the two eras, there's PLENTY to choose from.
As for chaos, they had 5 black legion Marines, plus 5 BL havoks, as well as terminators. You could also get the Horus Heresy SoH Marines as "bad guys".
>>
>>11244482
Not sure but you can probably email them about it.

There's also toyverse(dot)top if you want an alternative source. Just a warning that they take two months to ship out because their helmets are made to order. They're legit though.

Makes me think you own no other toyline, because there's literally hundreds of toys out there that have better detailed armor. Even Figmas have better detail and they're known for their soft sculpts

There's next to zero wear on the armor and everything is just so cartoony compared to something like pic. There's also next to zero weathering, but i won't fault them on this if you want to say that he never goes out on the battlefield. Other figures in the line, however, suffer from the same lack of weathering though. So it's just Joytoy cheaping out on what's supposed to be grimdark gritty figures.

As for size, there's 20 years of BAFs that are bigger. Plus whatever oversized figures Hasbro, McFarlane, Mattel, Storm Collectibles, Toy Biz, Ori Toys, 3A, NECA, DC Direct, 4 Horsemen, Jazwares, Creative Beasts, Hiya, Mezco, Play Arts, and countless others have been releasing in large boxed singles. Granted, Mattel and Jazwares kinda suck, but if they put a bit more of a budget, they'd end up great. Shit like that Mantis mech from Jazware's Halo line could have been amazing, which already has great engineering.

Hey friendo, how much of a pain is it to attach that mask? Is it soft-plastic? Thinking of buying it, but I'm kinda worried it might scratch/scuff his face-paint.
>>
>>11244722
It's not that hard to attach the mask, you just push it into his face and friction keeps it on. However depending on where you get it, the inside might be painted black. you may want to cover the inside with tape or put a bit of foam in between it and Horus' face so the latter doesn't get scuffed.

Honestly though once you put the mask on you'll never want to take it off.
>>
>>11244722
Oh yeah it's also not soft plastic, it's stiff plastic with no give. I don't think it's brittle, it feels pretty tough.

NO U.
The guy was saying the figure was impressive for the price he paid, so it's actually a comparison of its size for its price.

Takes a little bit of 8th grade level education to figure that shit out, so good job at showing how retarded you are.

But i guess making a retarded defense is the only way you can defend that figure, since you don't own any other toyline to notice what a poor value you're getting with that sculpt, paint, and size.
You can't even answer what you own if you think that's impressive, because you likely own nothing else... or do you own something else that is better and just don't want to admit Joytoy's product is inferior?

>>11244628
>complaining about washes and weathering when the topic is ultra gritty series
sure is nonfan who probably bitched that space marines are too big, because you needed to defend Joytoy for fucking up scale by making the early figures 1/21 instead of 1/18

>>11244714
again, tons of figures out there that are actually better detailed, instead of simplistic armor. Companies didn't stop making detailed figures 20 years ago like you need to pretend to to defend Joytoy.
Even Blizzard's Warhammer rip off figures show better detail.

A fact that didn't go past IH fans (all 2 of them), when they saw that original GW model reveal back in 2023. They even threw some photoshop kitbashes to cope.
But the fact remains, that nuGW just can't help but be bland and lazy wherever possible.

To be fair, it makes more sense for the base model to be very basic, very bland, so that it's like a blank canvas for players to add onto, to personalize themselves (also to sell the subfaction upgrade sprues).

That's not even his image. His retarded ass "prove it's fake lel" is a way to try to gloss over the obvious fact that theres no timestamp, which clearly shows its NOT his (as is the photogenic lighting, as opposed to a pic of his shelf).

Don't repeat third worlder ignorance.
It's not gold, it's a brown metallic like copper or bronze.

And as stated in the thread that exemplifies the bottom of the barrel fanboys, brands that get defended the worst usually cost way more than other brands and these fanboys need to pretend their toys are better than they really are to justify the prices.
So it doesn't need to be eastern, they just need to be overpriced, because some poorfag used his entire autismbux from the government on a single toy and he's highly sensitive about it.

Poor proportions, bad likenesses, soft sculpts, poo brown metallics, badly scaled, ugly engineering, brittle plastics... if you have a problem with any of these and the brand is overpriced: you are shitposting, a samefag, and worse than Hitler.

Pic of how posters from this general get ignored when they post about their toys breaking (which only proves my point about the bad molding and brittle plastics), because no one wants to admit how common Joytoy's figures are in randomly breaking
In other threads, the worst fanboys have said they even regret posting these images or how to fix them, because they can't believe their images get used to warn people about the shitty quality and feel bad they might lose a sale for their favorite brand.

Very glad to see Shadowsun being reissued. I almost bought her for $100+ when she was really hard to find but I ended up not doing it. I hope that they keep doing reissues of good older figures that are hard to find now; Celestine would be a good candidate.

Sorry, but you're one of the few people in these threads who seems to actively buy the line and know how fragile your toys are.

... or are they not actually fragile, and you're just a hamhands like the delusional fanboys need to claim because of how common it is for Joytoy's figures to break?

How you guys fighting against DUST? Buying new dustproof glass shelves is out of question. I'm currently just dusting them with a soft make-up brush, but not gonna lie, it's annoying and it breaks figures poses. I'd rather have a more passive solution. Are those fancy Dyson/chinamen air purifiers do the trick? Are there any downsides, besides them being on 100% of the time?

Anyone tried putting articulation into a GW Imp Knight? I want one, but I also want it to move like an action figure.
Fuck, I wish GW would let one of those Japanese companies that make model kits release something like that. A Kotobukiya or Takara style line of knights, titans, and other big units would be so fucking cool.

Might have to get her, she looks fantastic and I missed out on her the first time around. Can't remember, did the original release have that weathering?

>>11248233
They already have a little bit by design. The shoulders, elbows, and bicep can both be left articulated with a swivel with careful gluing, or with magnets, as can the waist, and the neck (2 points of articulation). The legs would require a full remodel, as they are essentially monopose (but you can choose which leg is forward vs back) and I suspect you would have trouble getting a joint to hold the weight up, as they are very top-heavy and their feet aren't very large. I used a sort-of-articulated leg kit to put my knight in a more interesting pose, but that required me to glue it as I went and was a huge pain in the ass. Oh I guess the pintle gun can also be left to pivot. A gundam-style kit would be really cool though.

Just dust your shit.
Hell, i dusted off that dreadnought right before but obviously missed a part, because the dust didn't show until it was under strong lighting.
Air purifiers don't do shit. That dreadnought is in my office where i have an air purifier, which is next to a room with two air purifiers. Don't waste your money on an air purifier, unless you have allergies

>>11248233
Bandai already made stuff, but they obviously didn't sell that well. GW will license their shit out to anyone, so the only thing stopping Kotobukiya or Takara are apparent low sales.

Joytoy is the only company doing an abundance of WH40k toys, because to run a company in China is 1/20th the cost than it is in Japan or the US. Warehousing is way cheaper. Offices are way cheaper. Shipping is way cheaper and subsidized. Loans are way easier and cheap. Housing is way cheaper. Wages are wage cheaper.
So their profit margins are a million times bigger than it is for western companies, because they're charging Play Art prices for their figures. Nevermind their profit margins increase even more, since they use the lowest quality plastics out of any current toy company.

Anyway, i don't think their WH40k toys are selling any better than Bandai, at least in the west, considering how a ton of retailers put that shit on clearance after stock sat around for what seemed like years. It's why it surprises me when people lament how the Tau figures are so hard to get and "rare", because they sat around forever and were constantly on sale. Even my Dreadnought went on sale, for way more than most collector toys do.

Many stores (in the west at least) actually stopped carrying a lot of wH40k figures from Joytoy. And despite less retailer support, they're still producing a lot. So now it seems that Joytoy themselves are selling their toys through Amazon.
I think most people forgot about this, but Joytoy's figures were originally sold on the Games Workshop website. So even GW dropped them

>>11252292
the sisters of battle are prone to breaking, so you're better off not wasting money on them.
If Joytoy makes new figures, maybe they'll use good plastic this time, but considering they've been using shit plastics for almos ta decade now... probably not.

Personally, i wouldn't chance buying anything that doesn't have thick proportions. More mass to the plastic = less chance of breaking.
>>
>>11252292
Which ones were u looking at? I'm seeing the red girls on showzstore and gundamit still. AliExpress should have them all, still, as well.

Mk7 tactical marines. Hopefully joytoy can make them as they are being squatted (Because all firstborn are slowly being squatted)


We got some vanguard; I wish we had got some original sternguard before they changed them over to the shitty looking primaris version.

My ultimate grail would be devastators.

Ugh, enough of factions we already have. Give us the Emperor's Children already!
>>
>>11253361
Grimaldus, Fulgrim, Mortarion, and Ciaphas Cain
>>
>>11253361
Besides maybe eliminators and or the Phobos captain (ideally with soft goods cloaks), I think there isn't much I'd want from space Marines anymore (well, maybe an impulsor?). I love primaris' design, but yeah, go classic firstborn tactical squad already!

Eldar, though, for fucking sure!! Even though my favorite xenos are Tyranids, I'd be willing to wait to let poor elder get a fucking turn! Don't make the same mistake that works did, and just give us the basic infantry units, "guardian defenders" or whatever they call the two variants! Add in a wraith guard (melee or ranged), and a warlock or autarch!

For Tyranids, I want a tyrant guard (prefer crab claws).
For Drukhari, gimme a karbanola warrior.
For necrons, a skorpehk destroyer (two blades guy).
For Tau, drones!
For orks, I like beast snaggas over Boyz.
For chaos, the specialized space Marines (plague, rubric, etc. we got berserkers).

I never understood the point of putting lightning claws onto a power-fist like this. You make the fist redundant because there's zero way you could punch somebody without also stabbing them first.

I guess it's a double-whammy, but the claws alone should be enough to kill. Shrike had the right idea by having two normal hands to go with the claws, so that he can hold more weapons/grenades or whatever.
>>
>>11253901
Power fists do more than punch. They can grab and crush.

>>11253361
A proper big tech priest. A Dominus preferably. The datasmith is cool but we need a proper cog-axe-wielding, monstrous, hulking science lab on spider legs. I recognize that the legs would mostly be a solid piece, and I accept that.

fuckhuge, but to be honest, that how Custodes were supposed to be from the get-go.
If JT actually goes forward and keeps making the rest of Talons of the Emperor line-up from the Heresy and 40k with new scale, we can forgo old smollstodes and just have a new line-up that can cover most basics.
Wardens can be ""substitute"" for old Sentinels. Aquilons replace Allarus. And there is Sagittarum and bunch of character/hero solo models.
Hell, there is even an opportunity for Custodes 2.0.

So it's just a normal power fist with a bunch of bullshit flowery words added to describe the quality of its construction. It still just looks weird to see the emperor's golden boys armed with such a crude weapon.

notably NOT space marines but better, but more human++ in-lore due to an entirely different method of creation

some books claim them to be barely human automata with even less personality than modern astartes, but I think thats gay and others claim they were "meant to be more" and "were His artisans and confidants"
I like to think they're the absolute pinnacle of human potential, what humanity might have been able to become if the Emperor's plan succeeded
no psykers, and they're often paired with the Sisters of Silence, an all female order of blanks that are for the most part don't have any biological enhancements but train hard enough to keep up with the custodes
recently there was a tism about GW claiming that not only are female custodes canon, but that they "always existed" despite never being mentioned for 30+ years, but it seems to have blown over for the most part

Custodes are the ultimate "generic"(non-named character) elite-troops of the Imperium, basically the best "transhumans" that aren't also a Primarch. Baseline humans >> Augmented Humans(like Skitarrii) >>>> Space Marines >>>> Custodes >>>>>>> Primarchs. Not sure where Assassins fit in on this scale, but they can tear through Marines, and I think it's highly possible that an Eversor could take an average Custodian.

They don't get alot of screentime in the setting because there is "only" 10,000 of them as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of Space Marines and all the variety of SM chapters. They were also originally made and intended to be the Emperor's personal guard, so they largely don't leave Terra, but that has changed somewhat in recent times. Now they've been fleshed out as an actual 40k faction(still way less model variety than Marines) they are getting expanded lore and more inclusion in the boardgame and setting. They don't have any Psykers as far as I know, so in that one way they can be inferior to Space marines, though there is an entire female sub-faction known as the sisters of Silence who are anti-pskyer warrior nulls(they are like walking EMPS to psykers) who are intended to work with them. They have way less named characters and stories dedicated to them than the poster-boy Space Marines as well.

Their team up has a cool name too, Talons of the Emperor. This is their ultimate form, both side bring out the best out of each other, and together they can face almost anything.
Their dynamic is really cute and underrated.

Why does that artwork look like AI garbage??
>Sword scabbard and waist cloth blend together
>Fingers seem a bit wonky
>Glaives proportions are all over the place
>Helmet has big bug eyes
>Armor and weapon designs don't look like and one particular pattern
Spear butt looks all funky, like a repeating pattern, but uneven
>Background is distinctly lacking in SKULLS
>Background is bright colors
>Aquillas are all off

Also, something that always bugged me about custodes is the "they're equipped with the best gear". So why is it still bolters? I thought I read somewhere that space Marines were originally equipped with volkite guns as standard issue, but as the crusade really started to get going, it was too expensive/difficult to mass produce and maintain, so emps HAD to find a cheaper/easier alternative, hence the bolter was conceived. But the fact remains that both volkite AND plasma weapons exist, so why do custodes get stuck with bolt weapons?
And shouldn't their tanks get replaced (or at least they get access to) repulsor tanks that primaris use? (Unless their usual floating tanks, I forget what they're called, already are better than repulsors) I understand that redemptor dreads aren't strictly speaking upgrades, so it makes sense that those don't get used for custodes, and the tanks are maybes, but plasma and volkite?
>>
>>11256569
bad artists existed before AI anon, I don't know what else to tell you
as to their gear, they DO have other weapons than bolters, even if their bolters are still top of that particular line. There can be a world of difference between the bolter pistol a commisar uses, the rifle a standard marine uses, a masterwork chapter relic only used on special occassions by the highest ranked marines, and the bolters in a guardian spear.
This is just speculation on my part, but I would not be surprised at all if there were some spacial compression fuckery in the mags of guardian spears so they hold a lot more ammo than they should. That seems like something Emps would like to hold onto from the DAoT in his back pocket, and would put any custodes bolters leagues above anything else
They do have some special toys of their own though. This guy >>11253271 in particular has an Adrathic destructor, which is basically human-made gauss weaponry, full on disintegration rays, which even before the great crusade was too rare and expensive to even think about it being standard issue
As for tanks and other gear in general, it can still be better than the rank and file even if hover tech is finally trickling down. A lot of the things that make good weapons and gear in 40k isn't just a step up on some tech tree, but the precision craftsmanship that goes into it all.
Vulkan may have been able to put a lot of wacky things into his hammer, but at the end of the day it was still a hammer, a VERY well made one, but a hammer nonetheless. Custodes gear is basically that writ large across the entire faction

It's also not just that the Imperium forgets how to make things, but the vast majority of forge worlds need to make all sorts of things in nightmarishly huge quantities and at similar speed to fuel the war effort, neither of which is good for individual quality
The custodes is basically the one faction that says "No, do it RIGHT" and puts quality above both speed and quantity, in addition to the benefits of being based out of the imperial palace for facilities and knowledge
All that to say they have the knowledge, resources, facilities, and time to get the absolute best out of their gear, whereas just about no one else has all of that going for them in the galaxy

Eh, I was expecting such an answer about wargear, and I'm still disappointed. Also, the art doesn't seem just bad, and all of those little details I pointed out seem like the tell tale sign of AI. Pic in >>11255988 is generally a tiny bit off (pauldrons a bit small, and proportions are normal humans. Helmet is a bit short, spear blade a bit small), but these seem like human errors. Artist began with a normal human base, which is where he went wrong. Gotta broaden those shoulders to a bit of a cartoonish standard, as well as bulk up the limbs s'more, mistakes that I'm trying to overcome myself when drawing space Marines. Pic related.

Here's an old quick drawing I did of my homebrew chapter. It's not perfect, but it's indisputably NOT AI.

I'm really sick and goddamn tired of the scale creep. I'm basically out. I just need to buy all the rest of the Primarchs I want and then I'm out. It's disgusting what they're doing.

I'll be honest with all of you, this has become too much of a hassle. Scale creep, reissues/2.0s, the sheer barrage of them, it's too goddamn much. I'll get my Primarchs, fill out a nice Rubric army when it's time, get a Commissar, Inquisitor or two, hope for some Eldar by that point, and then I'm basically don- I have a problem, don't I? I can't leave. Dear God I can't. I'm stuck here. Fuck me.
>>
>>11257050
>Scale creep
I know intellectually what you guys mean by this, that the figures keep getting bigger as time goes on and how older figures look notably smaller and out of place, but you guys always seem to pick the strangest figures to bitch about it with
Like, I was one of the people who bitched about abbadon being so big, but since he's apparently supposed to basically be a mini-horus that towered over other marines, him being big makes sense
Custodes in dreadnought armor makes sense to be taller than custodes in normal armor, even if the jump pack boys are a bit too long in the leg for my taste, and I do wish my old allarus boys weren't so comparatively small now
I will say that Ahriman really shouldn't be as tall as a terminator he released alongside, that's definitely fucky
Personally I want to think of it as the older figures being too short and they're adjusting to a new scale so it'll all even put over time, but there's no way to know if that's true until it happens and we can look back on it

Knight is finally up for PO, but only one of them.
They're only making 1000 of them, price is probably 1999RMB, so I'm going to guess $600-650.

Man I thought that if I would get one it would be the one with the reaper autocannon but it will be this guy.

But why is it called lightning claws? Shouldn't it be talons? I always thought lightning claws where the stiff ones on top of the gauntlet and talons were the movable ones attached to the fingers.

Definitely getting one, this should be encouraged. Should be able to get it under £500. Plus resale value will be excellent due to scarcity.

Not sure I share that feeling. I don't think there's that big a market for a giant 40k mech that's not just an actual forgeworld model.

I'm hyped about this and plan on getting one as well, but I want the red one. I wonder if it's just this one for now and the red one later, or both of them at the same time?

Maybe in one version they were called talons, but it got muddied with multiple different writers missing a memo or something. If someone asked, "who's the guy with the skull face?" There would be like 24 distinctly different, but equally correct, answers.

>>11259171
Are you new to Warhammer? First of all, this fully painted, articulated knight is CHEAPER than most forge world stuff. Second of all, Warhammer players literally buy the same shit repeatedly, but in slightly different versions, all the time. Thirdly, this has general 1:18 scale appeal, being a literal giant mech, AND limited quantities!? That 1,000 limit is really small, and I'd be surprised it doesn't get scalped into oblivion, due to that fact alone! Jabbas sail barge is what, 2.5k now? Retail was $400 ish? Not quite 1k copies, but still pretty limited. Razorcrest was $250 retail, now goes for $600.
Knights are gonna be hot, in my opinion.
>>
>>11259296
Wait for an Ali-sale with coupons. There's another coming up soon anyway. JT stuff stays in stock months past release date anyways.
>>
>>11259304
Mostly they buy the same shit repeatedly because they can actually field it in games, and they buy it unpainted and unassembled so that they can have the fun of doing it themselves. I don't really need to state the obvious that star wars fandom is a totally different beast to warhammer. Star wars is much bigger and the toys basically are the fandom so spending hundreds on a sail barge is "participating in the fandom" or whatever you want to call it, for warhammer, I feel like this thing is far enough out of the core fandom, the minis, that most fans would rather just spend the $600 on more armies or paints or whatever. "general 1:18 scale appeal" lmao, I think you overestimate how many sad toy-lovers actually have that much money to spend on one thing.
>>
>>11259068
Okay, but how much re-use can they get out of the parts? Can I hold my breath waiting for more? I want a Canis Rex so bad, bros.
